Algeria have defeated Senegal by a single unanswered goal, to seal their progress to the last 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations.

Just four minutes after a goalless first half, 27-year-old Youcef Belaili fired Algeria into the lead, with a powerful strike from inside the box.

Despite chances at both ends, the score-line remained intact, for Algeria to top Group C with 6 points and guarantee a berth in the last 16, while Senegal remain second on three points.

Kenya are third, also with three points, after twice coming back from behind to defeat Tanzania 3-2 in the other Group C match-up.
